DMDMS

Preservatives. Most products must contain preservatives to ensure that yeasts, molds, and bacteria do not thrive in them. These preservatives include alcohol, methylparaben, propylparaben, DMDM hydantoin, diazohdinyl urea, and imidazohdinyl urea. The parabens have limited solubiUty in water, eg, 0.25% for methylparaben and 0.05% for propylparaben (22). If these levels are exceeded in the formula, then the addition of solvents is needed to ensure clear, stable products. 

Imidazolidinyl urea works by releasing formaldehyde into the product, just like the related preservative DMDM hydantoin. 

Isothiazolinones are a class of broad-spectrum biocides used as preservatives in many household and industrial products. They are used in cosmetics and shampoos as a biocide to kill fungi and bacteria. Unlike the preservatives DMDM hydantoin and imidazolidinyl urea, also commonly used in these products, isothiazolinones do not release formaldehyde, to which some people are sensitive. On the other hand, some people are sensitive to isothiazolinones. 

DMDM hydantoin is used in shampoos and cosmetics to prevent molds, mildews, and bacterial spoilage.

We now present IETS data for dimethyldimethoxysilane (DMDMS), and dimethyldiethoxysilane (DMDES) liquid dosed onto thermal and plasma alumina, and for dimethylvinylethoxysilane (DMVES) applied to plasma alumina with a slightly different liquid dosing method. These results illustrate the effect of different dosing methods, and substrate-dependent adsorption effects. 

Figure 6. IET spectra of (a) DMDMS and (b) DMDES liquid-doped onto thermal alumina from a 2.0 vol.% aqueous solution (after [41).

It should be mentioned that reflection-absorption IR (RAIR) spectra of similarly prepared but thicker DMDMS and DMDES films show incomplete hydrolysis [4], These results are not contradictory to our IETS findings IETS probes the first one or two monolayers most effectively, and therefore provides information specific to the interface, whereas the RAIRS data for thicker films (at least several monolayers) will include bulk lines which may obscure those due to near-surface moieties. 

IETS data for DMDMS and DMDES indicates that the way in which the silanes are introduced onto an alumina surface (e.g. from solution or from vapor) affects the subsequent surface chemistry, resulting in slightly different adlayers. 

Copper-catalyzed cyclopropanation of 4,7-dihydro-l,3-dioxepin 46a with ethyl diazoacetate gave cyclopropanodiox-epane 49, as the only product. The product formation of cyclopropanation with dimethyl diazomalonate (dmdm) catalyzed by copper(n) acetylacetonate depends on the substitution pattern of the dioxepin (Scheme 3) <2000HCA966>. 

Tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (BCCgFj), purity 97%) was obtained from Lancaster, dimethoxydimethylsilane (DMDMS) from PCR, 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (L H, purity 97%) from ABCR, the methoxydimethylsilane (MDMS) from Fluorochem and 1,7-octadiene (purity 98%) from Aldrich. AU of them were used without any further purification. All solvents were pnrchased from Aldrich and anhydrons tolnene was stored over sodium. During the varions experiments we used two batches of catalyst. Since the first one contained a fair amonnt of water, a small content of Brij 98 (from Aldrich), a non-ionic surfactant, was added, so that the ethylene glycol functions competed with water to complex B(C Fj)3 and to increase its activity.

In the first part of this study, we checked several conditions of reaction using the simplest components, namely L H and DMDMS (Scheme 2). Model reaction was carried out at room temperature, using rather high contents of monomers in stoichiometric conditions, typically 5 mmol, in 5mL of various good solvents of PDMS and 0.1 mol% (compared to monomer) of catalyst. 

A typical SEC trace obtained in the course of reaction is given in Fig. 1. It shows that slow addition of L H on DMDMS forms linear PDMS chains and small cycles of typically 3-5 D units, the Dj being consumed. The large content of small cycles.

Recipe DMDMS (2mmol) + precursor H (2.65 mmol)+ B(CgFj)3 (4.89 10 mmol), at room temperature, 24h in toluene. The consumptions are given in percentages of introduced quantities for each reactant. 

Table 3 snmmarizes the various experiments carried ont with precursor M. Compared to the previous system, it is now clear that most of the oligocarbosiloxane and DMDMS are consnmed, and the reproducibility is good in terms of contents of polymers, their molar masses and Ips. Logically, the final molar masses are in this case relatively low compared to the system with precursor H (see also Fig. 8), which let one think that true alternated sequences are generated here.
